Hugo De Mori, a vet student, is working on his thesis about “Main pathogens of interest in international Embryo Transfer trade”. This thesis is done in collaboration with Lamia Briand-Amirat, professor in Reproduction at Oniris- Nantes and chair of the research subcommittee of HASAC/IETS. 

Their work is part of the IETS's desire to create a new system for categorizing pathogenic agents. They made a survey about pathogens which can limit exchanges of embryo.
